East Tennessee and the Lake Tellico area has long been known for its beautiful setting on the green, rolling foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. The mountains can be seen
is the distance, creating a rugged backdrop that can be seen from
any location, whether it is from the deck of sailboat or from your
stance in a tee box on the golf course. It is here that the Rarity
Bay residential community has been created for people looking for
the best of the golf and waterfront lifestyle.

Rarity Bay sits on a 960-acre peninsula surrounded on three sides by Lake Tellico. Ten miles of natural shoreline provide an ultimate waterfront living and recreational experience
that is available to every homeowner.

Well-maintained golf fairways interweave with a natural landscape of hardwood forests and open spaces. The peninsula is a haven for small wildlife, indigenous, and migratory birds, such as blue herons, falcons, mallards, Canadian geese, and even occasional American bald eagles.

Residents take in Rarity Bay's quiet beauty from their homes, the golf course, picnic areas, and parks. Careful consideration has been given to the landscaped areas of the community. Only trees and shrubs appropriate for the environment are planted and they must honor the visual integrity of the land.

The community of Rarity Bay is the result of the partnership between the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the Tellico Reservoir Development Agency (TRDA), and Tellico Lake Properties L.P., the developer of Rarity Bay. This trio entered into an agreement in 1994 with a common vision for responsible master planning and residential
development.

The group also pledged to provide minimal disturbance to
the lake, stream and riverbank, place buffers between developed areas and the shorefront, and to
preserve an environment in which each homeowner will live in a mutually beneficial balance with nature.

Tellico Lake Properties L.P. is the corporate developer of Rarity Bay on Lake Tellico. It is owned and managed by Michael Ross, who developed the design concept for Rarity Bay's waterfront golf residential living. Ross' family has called Knoxville and Maryville home for six
generations and has been involved in the development and construction of quality commercial and residential communities for many years.

Ross's vision of marrying the upscale country elegance of French Country design with a scenic locale enhanced by environmental policies has created an exemplary country club community that is attracting families from around the country.

French Country Style
France has been an arbiter of good taste for centuries and the homes of Provence, France, are renowned for their style and country charm.
The homes at Rarity Bay incorporate specific design elements of French Country architecture to create an ambiance of casual country elegance, while maintaining their American character.

A French Country home is an impressive, distinctive residence combined with natural charm.
The selection of natural exterior building materials, such as stone, brick, stucco, or
wood create a sense of a close association with the land. And
warm off-white and soft earth tone colors are used with muted accents
to create an inviting and relaxing home environment. The Rarity Bay interior design staff can help you select such interior accents as floor coverings, wall colors, moldings, and accessories.

In addition, each homesite at Rarity Bay is subject to landscape design criteria, so that a cohesive look is maintained while still expressing the taste and personality of the property owner.
The Rarity Bay Design Review Board has guidelines for the homeowner to achieve the design features that make one's home charmingly unique, and ensure that the home honors the community's comprehensive French Country look of casual elegance.

Casual country club living at Rarity Bay means a round of golf on
the championship golf course, meeting friends at the clubhouse
and eating in the dining room. Other activities include swimming
in the pool, playing tennis, planting a garden, horseback
riding, walking or cruising on Lake Tellico.

Real Estate OpportunitiesThe homes of this waterfront and golf community are reminiscent of the casual elegance of Provence, France. At Rarity Bay, the French Country architecture's distinctive design elements blend with the natural beauty of the landscape.

Careful consideration has also been given to landscaping, so that each home can take full advantage of the unique beauty of this Tennessee peninsula in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
